  2. ==========
  3. [Note - the gvmat64.asm longest_match routine in Windows 64-bit assembler
  4. and makefile.a64 used to compile it were provided at the last minute and
  5. are currently untested by Info-ZIP. They are provided to allow testing of
  6. this optimization which is planned for inclusion in Zip 3.0.
  7. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK. That said, thanks Gilles for providing this
  8. optimization and we plan to better support it in Zip 3.0. 2/28/2005 EG]
  9. makefile.asm64 is a makefile for 64 bits optimized version of zip for
  10. Microsoft Windows running on AMD64 (Athlon64/Opteron) and Intel EM64T
  11. (the Pentium 4 and Xeon with 64 bits extension)
  12. makefile.asm64 contain a makefile for 64 Microsoft C++ for Windows 64 bits,
  13. extended edition (for both AMD64 and Intel EM64T), included in Visual
  14. Studio 2005
  15. to compile it, start the C++ AMD64 build environnement prompt,
  16. go to the zip source directory and start
  17. nmake -a -f makefile.a64
  18. This makefile uses gvmat64.asm, which is the optimized longest_match written
  19. in assembly code for AMD64/Intel EM64T
  20. gvmat64.asm was tested by Gilles Vollant on AMD64 with infozip, and also tested
  21. with a lot of file with zLib 1.2.2 on both AMD64 and Intel EM64T processor.
  22. It was written by Gilles Vollant, by modifiying the longest_match
  23. from Jean-loup Gailly in deflate.c of zLib and infoZip zip.
  24. and modifying asm686 (1998), optimised assembly code from Brian Raiter,
  25. (see http://www.muppetlabs.com/~breadbox/software/assembly.html)
